We’re recruiting our citizen reporters, a group of young people who have disabilities living in the countries where we work, to team up with our global reporter Kim, to bring one-on-one interviews, conversations, round table discussions and radio style documentaries.
Through shaping and developing their own audio reports, asking challenging questions to people on the streets where they live, they are keen to unearth views, attitudes and perspectives of disability.
Many small businesses in Kenya have been adversely impacted or even been forced to shut down due to the effects of COVID-19, including businesses run and owned by people with disabilities.
In this 11-minutes audio report, Inclusive Futures citizen reporter Alan Herbert speaks with Henry Thuo, an entrepreneur with a disability and the founder of Hemuth fabrications.
Listen to this audio report to hear about how COVID-19 almost wiped out Henry’s business and how the assistance he received from Light for the World’s InBusiness initiative gave his business a lifeline during the pandemic.
